the secret terror that everyone else has figured out the secret to a meaningful life except you

No Manual Needed For The Light

The day is ending, and the mask you wore since sunrise finally slips from your face. You look at the world moving around you and feel a secret terror that everyone else has found the manual for living while you were left without one.

They seem so certain, so steady, while you are just pretending to know the way. But listen — the light does not require you to have figured it out.

Jesus stood at a door and knocked, not because he expected you to have the house in order, but because he wanted to sit with you in the mess. You do not need to perform okayness for the light to enter.

The truth lives in you and will be with you forever, even when you feel most lost. You are not behind; you are exactly where the light finds you.
